James Martin recently revealed a cancer diagnosis, just days after bullying allegations against him came to light.
The TV chef revealed the diagnosis in response to the allegations – one of which was made against him in 2018.
Following his announcement, celebrity friends, including chef Brian Turner, Dermot O’Leary and Denise Van Outen, showed their support to James.
James Martin bullying allegations
Back in July, TV chef James was accused of “bullying” and “intimidating” behaviour by crew members on two of his TV shows.
In 2018, James was accused of launching into a “foul-mouthed tirade” during the filming of Saturday Morning at his home after one of his drains was blocked. ITV didn’t take any action following this accusation.
However, the broadcaster did take action following the latest accusation. James was accused of berating staff members, making people cry in front of others, and changing filming schedules. He was then allegedly late for said changed filming schedule.
In a statement, ITV revealed that they had spoken to James and his production company about his behaviour.
His production company, Blue Marlin, also released a statement in which they claimed “lessons have been learned”.
